83 Upper Shad Road: A Modern Colonial Retreat in Pound Ridge Located on 2.25 private, level acres, 83 Upper Shad Road offers a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern functionality. This meticulously maintained Colonial, with inground pool, is situated in the heart of Pound Ridge yet provides a quiet sanctuary from the bustle of daily life. The property is surrounded by mature trees and professionally designed landscaping, creating a serene, park-like environment that remains beautiful throughout every season. The home features 3 generously sized bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, living room, den, formal dining room and kitchen. The finished lower level adds an open-plan living area with office, library, workout space, peaceful reading nook and full bath. The interior layout is thoughtfully designed for today's lifestyle, balancing large, sun-drenched areas for entertaining with more intimate spaces for relaxation. The heart of the home is the spacious living room, which boasts a double-height, vaulted ceiling and a classic wood-burning fireplace. French doors open to the patio dining area and offer clear views of the private backyard, pool and mature plantings. Adjacent to the living room, a separate den and large dining room open onto each other, making the space perfect for hosting large family gatherings or holiday dinners. The kitchen features a large central island and abundant cabinets with room for a cozy breakfast nook. The formal dining room adjoins the kitchen, while the kitchen backdoor flows directly onto a private deck--an ideal spot for barbecuing while watching the sunset. Just beyond the deck is a large patio where you can host seasonal dinners and enjoy late-night conversations around a fire pit. The gated Gunite pool and expansive deck area are flanked by a magnificent rhododendron, Japanese maples, hydrangeas, coneflowers and an array of colorful flowering plantings. The rest of the grounds are equally impressive with a cedar shed, and plenty of open space for gardening and outdoor recreation. An attached 2-car garage and Invisible fencing help keep your cars snow-free and your pets secure. The total square footage of the home includes the finished lower level. Beyond the home itself, the location offers exceptional convenience. It is located just minutes from the shopping and dining in Pound Ridge, Bedford, New Canaan and North Stamford. Commuters will appreciate the easy access to the Merritt Parkway and I-684, as well as the nearby Metro-North stations.
